When I, the Happy Ending, Met You, the Tragic Ending

A sickly, clingy, pampered shou x a jealous, stubborn gong who nearly turned dark but failed

Blurb:

1

Lan Xi has had a smooth, comfortable life, with no worries about food or drink, and has never suffered for love.

While others were still crying over love, he had already married his childhood sweetheart, Jiang Songhe, who loved him deeply. Jiang Songhe was a self-made business tycoon with a fortune of tens of billions.

His husband never said no to him, treating him so tenderly that he was afraid Lan Xi might get hurt if he held him too tightly, or melt if he kept him in his mouth.

If Lan Xi said he wanted the stars, his husband would practically pluck the moon down for him.

They were a loving couple, the picture of perfection and the envy of everyone around them.

Lan Xi thought they would be happy together for the rest of their lives.

Then one day, he opened his eyes and found himself in a parallel world where everything ended badly.

Lan Xi returned to the night he and his childhood sweetheart had fallen in love.

Across from him, Jiang Songhe offered him a love letter, his ears red as he confessed the secret love he'd harbored for ten years.

Lan Xi should have put on a little act, made his childhood sweetheart read the letter ten times and say "I love you" a hundred times, then happily thrown himself into his arms and said he'd loved him for just as long.

But he absolutely should not have done what he did now:

Tear the letter to pieces in front of his future husband, sneer at his humble origins, tell him he wasn't good enough, and order him to take a good look at his own shabby self.

He couldn't control his body. All he could do was watch his husband's eyes redden as he turned and walked away, leaving only the words, "I'll make you regret this."

Lan Xi: !!! I regret it, I regret it! Husband, come back right now!!!

From then on, Jiang Songhe disappeared from his world.

This bad-ending world was not kind to him.

His family went bankrupt and fell into decline. Overnight, he went from living in a mansion to a tiny, rundown apartment. Having been raised as a pampered young master, he had never known hardship. He came down with a minor illness every three days and a serious one every five. In just a year, he had become a pitiful, sickly wreck.

Meanwhile, his darling husband had already made a name for himself, appearing in the financial news, with countless people fighting for a chance to get into his bed.

At least his husband knew how to stay faithful. There were no scandalous rumors, only occasional gossip about a "white moonlight" or a "red cinnabar mole."

At that, Lan Xi raised his hand while coughing: It's me! It's me, cough, cough, cough!

No matter how hard Lan Xi tried, the will of the world kept him from getting close to Jiang Songhe.

For a while, he thought he would spend the rest of his life alone in a hospital bed.

But before the Grim Reaper came, his husband arrived with a golden cage he'd built with his own hands.

Jiang Songhe gripped his chin and sneered. "What? Is this the life you wanted after leaving me?"

Lan Xi collapsed weakly into his arms. "Cough, cough, husband, you finally came to find me, cough, cough, cough!"

The man immediately panicked. He didn't dare say another harsh word. All his fury turned to concern, and in the end he could only press a fierce kiss to Lan Xi's forehead.

"Lan Xi, you'll never leave me for the rest of your life!"

"Cough, cough, cough, I'd rather die than cough, cough, leave you, cough, cough, husband..."

Side Story

The house was fitted with countless surveillance cameras, which Lan Xi treated like a treasure hunt.

He spent a month taking down most of them. Every time he found one, he smiled at the camera and flashed a peace sign.

"Honey, how many are left now?"

The man's voice came through the surveillance system. "...129. Want to keep playing? If that's not enough, I can install a few more."
